Never really heard of many MR2 specialist garages to be honest. Your best bet would be to find a reputable classic car or jap garage.

I have managed to find this place for you which isn't a million miles away and has some good reviews but I've never used them myself, (not sure if anyone else here has??):

On a side note I have a great bodywork place I know of in Bristol if you need one later down the line.

I have just bought a Rev2 turbo car to use as a donor for my UK Rev4. My plan is to do a lot of the work wiith my son under the supervision of a mechanic friend but (and here's the rub) this depends on being given access to a unit FOC by another friend close to the mechanic mate and hoping the mechanic mate has time to help.

The mechanic mate is a general mechanic and whilst he has a good rep, this is not the type of thing he would normally undertake.

I wanted to go and chat to a local(ish) garage to get their thoughts on what I am going to do and get some prices in case we decide to let the pros do it.
